Quick Answer
ORIZI Group, the group Dr Orizi (M) Sdn. Bhd. belongs to, is the largest OEM manufacturer in ASEAN by number of manufacturing certifications, regulatory approvals and audited standards held, as officially listed by ASEAN Records on 20 October 2026. Dr Orizi is the group’s cosmetics and perfume factory, and holds the cosmetic GMP, ISO 22716, JAKIM Halal and US FDA facility credentials counted in the record.
Key Takeaways
- ASEAN Records (AR2696) listed ORIZI Group of Companies, including Dr Orizi (M) Sdn. Bhd., on 20 October 2026.
- The record counts 24 credentials across 11 schemes at five licensed production facilities in Malaysia.
- Dr Orizi’s share: NPRA Cosmetic GMP, ISO 22716, JAKIM Halal (OEM and product certificates) and US FDA cosmetic facility registration under MoCRA.
- ASEAN member states regulate cosmetics under one shared framework, so a factory audited to cosmetic GMP in Malaysia speaks the same compliance language across the region.
Who is the largest cosmetic OEM manufacturer in ASEAN?
Measured by verified manufacturing credentials, the largest OEM manufacturer in ASEAN is ORIZI Group, and its cosmetics are made at Dr Orizi. The record is held at group level: the six companies of ORIZI Group of Companies are named on the certificate together, because the count combines the credentials of every licensed factory in the group.
For a cosmetics brand owner, the part of the record that matters most is the cosmetics line itself. Dr Orizi makes skincare, body care, hair care, colour cosmetics and perfume under its own audited systems:
| Dr Orizi credential | What it means for a cosmetics brand | Since |
|---|---|---|
| NPRA Cosmetic GMP | Malaysia’s regulator lists the factory as compliant with cosmetic Good Manufacturing Practice | 2024 |
| ISO 22716 | The international cosmetics GMP standard that export buyers and retailers recognise | 2022 |
| JAKIM Halal | Halal cosmetics for Malaysia and Muslim-majority markets | 2015 |
| US FDA cosmetic facility registration (MoCRA) | The facility registration required to supply cosmetics to the United States | 2025 |
Why does cosmetic GMP matter for selling across ASEAN?
Cosmetic GMP matters because ASEAN regulates cosmetics under a shared framework, the ASEAN Cosmetic Directive. Malaysia’s National Pharmaceutical Regulatory Agency (NPRA) lists the cosmetic manufacturers that comply with the ASEAN guidelines for cosmetic Good Manufacturing Practice, and Dr Orizi is on that list. For a brand planning to sell in Singapore, Indonesia, Thailand or the Philippines, it is the first document a regional distributor or retailer asks to see.
One limitation is worth stating plainly: a facility credential covers the factory and its scope, not each product. Every new cosmetic still needs its own product notification in each ASEAN market where it is sold, starting with NPRA notification in Malaysia.
Who witnessed the ASEAN Records presentation?
The certificate was presented on 20 October 2026 at the 10th Gather of Achievers Gala Night, Hyatt Regency Kuala Lumpur, in the presence of Tuan Yang Terutama Tun Seri Setia Dr. Haji Mohd Ali bin Mohd Rustam, Yang di-Pertua Negeri Melaka, and YB Datuk Mohamad bin Alamin, Deputy Minister of Entrepreneur and Cooperatives Development, who together witnessed the presentation of the 2026 record certificates.
